EVERYONE.
EVERYONE. THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING OUR ECONOMY. HEATHER MEYER IS JOINING US FROM HOME.
HEATHER? GOOD MORNING, ERICA.
WE BEGIN WITH THAT BREAKING
NEWS SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS HAS
DROPPED OUT OF THE 2020
PRESIDENTIAL RACE LEAVING
FORMER VISE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN
AS THE LIKELY DEMOCRATIC
NOMINEE OR CHRIS GROH IS
STANDING BY LIVE WITH WHAT
SENATOR SANDERS HAD TO SAY TO
HIS SUPPORTERS AND ALL
AMERICANS. CHRIS, THIS IS A
GOOD MORNING HEATHER. OH, WHILE
THIS ALL JUST BROKE DOWN NOW IT
PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEES THAT
BIDEN WILL BE THE DEMOCRATIC
NOMINEE. HOWEVER, WHILE HE HAS
SUSPENDED HIS CAMPAIGN, BERNIE
SANDERS DID NOT ENDORSE JOE
BIDEN AT LEAST NOT YET. NOW
WHAT HE DID SAY IN THIS VIDEO
MESSAGE TO HIS SUPPORTERS IS
THAT HE SAYS HE'LL CONTINUE TO
FIGHT FOR HIS PLATFORM AND FOR
POLITICAL CHANGE. AS A SENATOR
HE HAS HISTORICALLY AND
FEVERISH LEE PUSH FOR IDEAS
SUCH AS MEDICARE FOR ALL
RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE AND
AGGRESSIVELY ATTACKING
THE THREAT OF CLIMATE CHANGE
DURING THIS CAMPAIGN DURING
THE 2016 CAMPAIGN AND DURING
HIS TIME AS A SENATOR. NOW
SANDERS STARTED THE RACE FOR
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION THIS
TIME. FAST AND FURIOUS WINNING
EARLY STATES LIKE NEW HAMPSHIRE
AND NEVADA. HOWEVER, IT WAS
BIDEN THAT CAME FROM BEHIND BY
WINNING SOUTH CAROLINA AND
EVENTUALLY HAVING A STRONG
SHOWING ON SUPER TUESDAY. FROM
THERE BIDEN TOOK THE LEAD AND
IN HIS REMARKS TODAY SANDERS
SAID THE PATH TO A VICTORY IS
VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE. HOWEVER,
HE BELIEVES HIS MARK ON
THE CAMPAIGN WILL STILL BE FELT
IN THE RACE FOR THE WHITE
HOUSE. BUT THE GREATEST
OBSTACLE TO REAL SOCIAL CHANGE
HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH
THE POWER OF THE CORPORATE AND
POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT TO
LIMIT OUR VISION AS TO WHAT IS
POSSIBLE AND WHAT WE ARE
ENTITLED TO AS HUMAN BEINGS.
NOW VISE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN
RELEASED A STATEMENT IN
THE NEWS OF SANDERS DROPPING
OUT. IN IT HE WROTE QUOTE WHILE
THE SANDERS CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN
SUSPENDED, ITS IMPACT ON THIS
ELECTION AND ON ELECTIONS TO
COME IS FAR FROM OVER. WE WILL
ADDRESS EXISTENTIAL CRISIS OF
CLIMATE CHANGE. WE WILL
CONFRONT INCOME INEQUALITY IN
OUR NATION. WE WILL MAKE SURE
HEALTH CARE IS AFFORDABLE AND
ACCESSIBLE TO EVERY AMERICAN.
WE WILL MAKE EDUCATION AND OUR
PUBLIC COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES FREE WILL EASE
THE BURDEN STUDENT DEBT AND
MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL WE WILL
DEFEAT DONALD TRUMP. NOW BIDEN
WENT ON TO SAY THAT SANDERS AND
HIS SUPPORTERS HAVE CHANGED
THE DIALOG IN AMERICA AGAIN.
HOWEVER, THOUGH SANDERS HAS NOT
COME OUT AND ENDORSED BIDEN
LIKE OTHER DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATES DID AFTER THEY
SUSPENDED THEIR CAMPAIGNS WILL
BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW LONG
IT WILL TAKE OR IF AT ALL
SANDERS DOES ENDORSE BIDEN.
BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT, CHRIS
BROWN REPORTING LIVE FOR US.
CHRIS, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THE CORONA VIRUS CONTINUES TO
CLAIM LIVES AROUND THE WORLD.
LET'S GET YOU CAUGHT UP ON SOME
OF THE LATEST NUMBERS HERE AT
LAST CHECK WORLD WIDE. THERE
ARE NOW BEEN ONE MORE THAN ONE
POINT FOUR MILLION CASES HERE
IN THE US THERE OVER 400 TWO
THOUSAND CASES AND MORE THAN
13000 DEATHS IN SAN DIEGO
COUNTY. LET'S JUST FOCUS IN ON
OUR COUNTY HERE. THERE ARE MORE
THAN 50 MORE CASES BRINGING
THE TOTAL HERE 1450 FOR 12 NEW
DEATHS WERE ALSO CONFIRMED IN
OUR COUNTY. THAT'S THE LARGEST
NUMBER REPORTED ON A SINGLE DAY
WITH NATIONAL STOCKPILES LOW,
GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM IS
PROMISING TO BRING IN 200
MILLION MASKS EVERY MONTH. HE
REACHED A 500 MILLION DOLLAR
DEAL WITH A MANUFACTURER IN
ASIA AND SEVERAL CALIFORNIA
NONPROFITS. GAVIN NEWSOM SAYS
THE MASK WILL NOT ONLY SUPPLY
HOSPITALS ACROSS THE STATE BUT
WILL ALSO ALLOW MASS TO BE SENT
TO OTHER STATES THAT ARE IN
NEED. DESPITE THIS, ONE LOCAL
HOSPITAL IS NOT TAKING ANY
CHANCES MAKING ITS OWN
PROTECTIVE GEAR. NEWS IT'S NOT
A RON PAUL JOINS US LIVE TO
TELL US WHAT RADY CHILDREN'S
HOSPITAL IS CREATING. METTA.
YEAH. WHILE THE GOVERNOR IS
WORKING ON GETTING ENOUGH MASS
FOR CALIFORNIA HOSPITALS AND
BEYOND RADY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
ALSO WORKING ON THEIR OWN
EQUIPMENT. IN FACT THEY'RE
SCIENTISTS AT THEIR 3-D LAB
MAKING FACE SHIELD. SO THEY
PIVOTED FROM THEIR NORMAL WORK
THAT THEY WOULD TYPICALLY DO
FOR THE OH OUR TEAMS AND NOW
THEY'RE WORKING ON IT
PROTECTIVE GEAR IN THE FORM OF
FACE SHIELDS SHORTAGES TO
SHIELD THE PROCESS. IT WAS
GREAT BECAUSE WE'RE ON CAMPUS
HERE READY CHILDREN ACTUALLY
WENT DOWNSTAIRS. THOMAS DOGS
AND OUR NURSES ALLOW THEM TO
TRY ON SUNDAY DESIGNS A SUIT
FROM WORK BEST FOR THEM WHICH
HAD THE BEST COVERAGE. WHICH
ONE OF THE BEST? I FOUND A SPOT
WHERE A FEW WERE EASY TO PEEL
BACK HERE. YEAH, PRETTY
INNOVATIVE WORK. WHAT THEY'RE
DOING HERE. SO THEY MADE 500
THE FIRST DAY AND NOW THEY ARE
UP TO FIFTEEN HUNDRED OF THESE
FACE SHIELDS AND THEY'RE GOING
TO SEND THESE TO ALL RADY
CHILDREN'S STAFF BUT ALSO TO
OTHER HOSPITALS. THAT IS
THE HOPE. SO JUSTIN RYAN THAT'S
THE MAN YOU JUST HEARD FROM
THE RESEARCH SCIENTIST AT
RABIES, A 3-D LAB AND HE SAYS
NORMALLY THEY'RE CREATING
SURGICAL MODELS FOR
THE OPERATING ROOM BUT BECAUSE
OF THE NEED FOR THESE MASS IT
HAS BEEN SO INTENSE FOR ALL
HOSPITALS THEY REALLY SWITCH
GEARS ABOUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS
AGO STARTED WORKING ON A DESIGN
AND SINCE THAT LAB, AS YOU SAID
IS RIGHT THERE ON THE SAME
CAMPUS AS THE HOSPITAL,
THE SCIENTISTS MADE SURE
THE DOCTORS AND NURSES TRIED
THEM FOR SIZE AND ONCE APPROVED
A LOCAL COMPANY STARTED
PRODUCING THEM BY THE HUNDREDS.
LAST US OUT OF LA HOYA DONATED
THE PRINTER THAT HELPED THEM
START THAT PROTOTYPE. SO THAT'S
A FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR PRINTER
THAT WAS DONATED FOR THIS
CAUSE. THESE FACE SHIELDS ARE
REUSABLE. THEY CAN BE
SANITIZED. SO BY HAVING THESE
IT LESSENS THE DEMAND FOR ALL
THE OTHER MASS. LIKE THE END
NINETY FIVE. SO SINCE
THE SHIELDS CAN BE DISINFECTED
AND USED IT TIME AND TIME AFTER
TIME IT DOES HELP DOCTORS AND
NURSES CONSERVE ALL THE OTHER
ESSENTIAL EQUIPMENT THAT THEY
ALSO NEED. ALSO THAT 3-D LAB
PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. THEY ALSO
HELPED CREATE VENTILATORS OUT
OF THE 3D PRINTER AND AS SWABS
AND THOSE SWABS WILL ALSO BE
USED TO TEST PATIENTS FOR
COVERED 19. THAT'S THE VERY
LATEST HERE. WE'LL SEND IT BACK
TO YOU. REPORTING LIVE FOR US.
REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. NOW TO
THE NATIONAL CITY SCHOOL
DISTRICT IS UNVEILING ITS
DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAM FOR
STUDENTS THIS WEEK. TECHNOLOGY
WILL BE DISTRIBUTED STARTING
TODAY AT NATIONAL CITY SCHOOLS
FOR STUDENTS WHO NEED IT TO
CONNECT WITH THE PROGRAM ONLINE
FOR ANY PARENTS WORRIED ABOUT
PICKING UP THE SUPPLIES FOR
STUDENTS. THIS IS CONSIDERED AN
ESSENTIAL ACTIVITY UNDER
THE GOVERNOR'S ORDERS. YOU GOT
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT THERE.
OCEANSIDE POLICE CONFRONT A MAN
THROWING ROCKS AT THEM AT MIRA
COAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND
AFTER TASING HIM HE DIED ON
THE SCENE. OFFICERS RESPONDED
TO CALL JUST BEFORE 4:00 THIS
MORNING OF A MAN IN HIS 40S
ACTING VIOLENTLY OUTSIDE OF A
HOME. POLICE SAY HE INJURED A
NEIGHBOR BY HITTING HIM WITH A
PIECE METAL AND THEN WAS
THROWING ROCKS AT HOUSES
BREAKING WINDOWS. THE MAN
POLICE TELL US THEN RAN ONTO
THE COLLEGE CAMPUS, CONTINUED
THROWING THINGS AT THE OFFICERS
SO THEY TASERED HIM. WELL,
THE MEDICS TRIED TO REVIVE HIM
BUT HE DID NOT SURVIVE OUTSIDE
HERE. GONNA BE ANOTHER RAINY
DAY ACROSS THE COUNTY SO WE
CHECK BACK IN WITH NEWSAGENT
RON PAUL STANDING BY WITH OUR
FIRST LOOK AT MICROCLIMATE
FORECAST. HOW'S IT LOOKING OUT

LITTLE BIT OF A STRONGER CELL
RIGHT THERE AND THAT'S GOING TO
BE MOVING TOWARDS U.S. CANDIDO
